What Makes Monoglass Spray Applied Insulations Green?

The high R-values of Monoglass and Sonoglass insulations are in themselves part of the reason our products are considered green products. By virtue of being a good thermal insulator, Monoglass & Sonoglass reduce the amount of fossil fuels required to heat a building, thereby reducing the amount of greenhouse gasses that are put into the atmosphere. In addition to this, the heating costs for the building are reduced.

Our insulations are fiberglass based and therefore do not support the growth of mold/fungus, unlike cellulose/paper based insulations which are organic and require considerable added chemicals to prevent mold and fungal growth.

As a naturally white product with high light reflectance, Monoglass and Sonoglass can help reduce the amount of energy required to light an area. The high light reflectance also provides a safer environment at night.

The PVA binder used in our insulation application has only trace VOC emissions. When applied, the amounts of potential VOC emissions are approximately .000053% by weight.

Monoglass® is made from a combination of post consumer recycled glass and recycled manufacturing glass. The total volume of post consumer material is not less than 25%.

Monoglass products have been installed in educational facilities, community centers, hospitals as well as a variety of other locations where environmental responsibility and product safety are of high concern.
